Poorest example of legal process servers I’ve EVER seen in 30 years of legal work. On top of it they’re crooks and illegally charged my card without my permission. I had used when originally hiring them 5 months prior. If ZERO stars was an option I would have selected it!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are civil cases from Altadena filed?
Because Altadena is unincorporated LA County, court routing depends on case type and is confirmed at filing.
How is service handled at hillside addresses along Lake Avenue or Christmas Tree Lane?
Hillside addresses include long driveways and limited road frontage in some areas. The server documents what was observed at each visit and approaches the residence per the address details.
Some Altadena recipients get a phone call before a visit and aren’t sure what it means. A call usually just confirms an address or arranges a hand-off — here is why a process server is calling you and what tends to come next. The server still logs each attempt to the order no matter how contact starts.
How is access handled in areas affected by the 2025 Eaton Fire?
Access in parts of Altadena shifted after the 2025 Eaton Fire. Capture any current access details at intake; the server documents what was observed at each visit.
Can a server work near the Cobb Estate trailhead?
The Cobb Estate trailhead is a public space accessible during operating hours. Service to a specific recipient typically requires a residential or business address.
How fast can service in Altadena typically be completed?
Most orders see a first attempt within a few business days. Faster turnaround can be requested at order time, with timing depending on the address and the recipient.
Can address verification be added to an Altadena order?
Yes. Address verification can be added before the assignment goes out when the address is uncertain. The check covers public records, and the result is logged to the order.
I had an exceptional experience with On-Call Legal Process Servers. They were incredibly reliable and efficient, especially when I needed rush service over the weekend. Their website was very user-friendly, providing clear fee information, and their outstanding customer service further boosted my confidence in their services, which made them an easy choice out of the many process server companies I looked into. Thanks to their prompt delivery, the served party contacted me shortly afterward to settle the case. Given their extensive coverage beyond Los Angeles, I plan to use them again soon for a small claims case in Riverside County.
I had to file a Writ of Review with the California Court of Appeal. I contact several services for assistances most were not interested and others didn't provide the services I needed. I called On-Call Legal Process Servers and spoke to one of their staff. The staff member gave me a list of services they provide everything from a small claims court, to Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court. They will assist you in the filing all court documents and proof of service. To get start with On-Call Legal Process Servers and more an account has to be opened online. Before charges can be posted to the account an Email is sent out listing the proposed charges. The staff returns Email questions and orders during their normal business hours during the same day. On-Call Legal Process Servers file the writ for me and obtain the filing court's case number.
I was fortunate enough to be introduced to On-Call Legal through a family friend for services of process. Not only were the owners Brandon & David incredibly kind, but their process servers were professional, fast and affordable. I would use them again and would recommend them to anyone.
On-Call was absolutely AMAZING! Our trial team at Brown Goldstein & Levy flew into LA for a USDC trial from Baltimore. From first contact, On-Call was professional, prompt & handled everything we threw at them from exhibit binders for the Court and parties, to delivery to Court to meet our 8:30 am filing deadline! David A & his team handled everything! Looking forward to working with them again!
